Description
The Physiscope and the Repair’Lab are activities that aim at promoting scientific curiosity and understanding.
Through striking demonstrations and hands-on workshops, Physiscope introduces key concepts in physics—from electricity and mechanics to energy and superconductivity—while connecting them to contemporary scientific and technological challenges. Our activities target primary and secondary school classes and are designed to align with school curricula while drawing inspiration from current research.
The Repair’Lab complements this approach through hands-on diagnosis, measurement, and repair, developing practical skills in electricity and electronics while deepening technological understanding. By promoting repair over disposal, it highlights an engaging and educational response to environmental challenges, extending product lifetimes and reducing resource and energy waste. Drawing on expertise from the School of Physics’ research labs and workshops, the Repair’Lab makes technical knowledge more visible and accessible to a broad audience.
Beyond their impact on students and the public, these initiatives offer valuable opportunities for young researchers. Engaging in science outreach strengthens communication skills and reinforces the societal role of research, while hands-on repair activities foster practical technological expertise often overlooked in academic training. Together, Physiscope and the Repair’Lab illustrate how outreach and repair-based learning can enrich scientific careers and contribute to more responsible and engaged research practices.
